Course content:


Building on the level 4 technical content, learners are challenged to extend their knowledge of coaching and transfer this understanding, skills and behaviours into a leadership and managerial role with a focus on producing high performance teams.

Learners will acquire an understanding of what is required to lead and manage a team of coaches, specialists and support staff in elite football in order to deliver winning performances. They will also gain an understanding of leadership and management in the wider context of a football club and beyond. Learners will have opportunities to learn from, and with, senior performers from a variety of contexts and to apply that learning to their own club experience.

Building on the learning undertaken at Levels 1-4, learners will undergo critical self-reflection and analysis on the relationship between the coach, environment, player and game at the elite level and develop new knowledge and skills.



Who is it for:Elite level coaches who wish to work in a managerial capacity in the Premier League and Football League.
